Prison Island Half Day Sea Trip with Transfers - Zanzibar
A visit to Stone Town brings you to the captivating Prison Island, a tranquil retreat that combines rich history with stunning natural beauty. The island is home to Aldabra tortoises, brought over from Seychelles in 1919, who now roam freely across the land. Just a short half-hour boat ride from Stone Town, it’s a perfect spot for snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters and soaking up the sun on its peaceful shores.
Prison Island also boasts a fascinating historical background. Initially used as a quarantine station, it later became the site for a British-built prison in the 1890s, though the prison was never completed or used. Today, visitors can wander through the remains of this unfinished structure and enjoy the lush, scenic landscape that makes the island a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
